Arches National Park Guided Tours
About Arches National Park Tours
Experience the captivating history and breathtaking beauty of Arches National Park with our professionally guided tours. Soak up insights on short walks and quick drives throughout the park as towering red rock formations, sweeping desert landscapes, and fascinating geological wonders come to life.
Our local guides will take you directly to the park’s most iconic sights. You’ll explore must-see destinations lincluding Balanced Rock, The Windows Area, Double Arch, Delicate Arch Viewpoint, Wolfe Ranch, Sand Dune Arch, and enjoy stunning panoramas of the La Sal Mountains.
Arches National Park was shaped by the powerful forces of ancient oceans, tectonic activity, and erosion, which gave rise to the unique red rock formations the park is famous for—more than 2,000 natural arches and hundreds of fins. The park’s rich history also includes evidence of Native American inhabitants, followed by the arrival of settlers and explorers, adding a layer of cultural depth to the landscape.
The ecology features a diverse desert environment, home to a variety of plants and animals. You’ll encounter desert plants such as prickly pear cactus, Utah juniper, single-leaf ash, and Stansbury’s cliffrose. These resilient plants thrive in the harsh conditions of the desert, each adapted to survive the intense heat and dry conditions.
Wildlife such as mule deer, coyotes, porcupines, desert cottontails, black-tailed jackrabbits, and bighorn sheep roam the area. Birdwatchers will spot species like Pinyon jays, scrub jays, and juniper titmice. The soil, rich with cryptobiotic life, supports the delicate balance of this desert ecosystem.
Whether you’re an early riser eager to catch the best morning light or prefer to watch the desert glow at sunset, we offer two daily departure times to make the most of your time in this otherworldly landscape. Each tour lasts approximately four hours from meet-up to return. The morning tour meets at our office location in Moab at 8:00 AM, and the afternoon tour meets at 3:00 PM.

Reviews from our Guests
Posted on Bob Hoffman2025-10-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Miles was entertaining and very knowledgeable. He made the trip fun and worthwhile. I would use MILD to Wild nest time in the area.Posted on Burt T2025-10-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I had a Mesa Verde van tour in late October with Miles. He provided outstanding information about the archeology, indigenous peoples, terrain, climate throughout our tour. I also called the phone line and spoke with Tim about hiking opportunities in the Durango area. He listened and gave us effective guidance. This company provides excellent service!Posted on Kim Reynolds2025-10-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our full day tour in the Mesa Verde area was breathtaking. Got to see parts of the world that will just blow your mind. We were particularly happy with our tour guide, Jay who really knew the history and geology of the area and gave us insights into history that we had not understood before.Posted on Natalie Norman2025-10-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience on our Mesa Verde National Park tour! They had to make some last-minute itinerary changes due to park staffing/government shutdown, but we still had a great time! Our tour guide Jay was very knowledgeable and extremely personable. He quickly felt like one of our family as we ventured out to the high desert. He made a point to connect with all of us, but he went out of his way to personally interact with our 2 daughters (10 and 12) and made the experience special for them. They learned so much! He was also very helpful when some of us weren't feeling so great at the high altitude! I would book with this company again in a heartbeat, especially if I could get a tour with Jay!! Thanks for the lifetime memories. What a beautiful area!Posted on Allison Posell2025-10-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Miles was amazing, knowledgeable, and made sure that the unexpected weather and flooding in the area did not keep us from having a good experience. Thank you for the great service recovery and adventure!Posted on Casey Mast2025-10-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cat was our tour guide, and we had a great Jeep tour with the Trails and Rails – Jeep Tour & Train Package. We explored in Silverton area by Jeep and saw a ghost/mining town near the head in the Animas River. The views were amazing!Posted on Brenda Stewart2025-10-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Miles was an excellent tour guide, knowledgeable with a fun sense of humor. He was flexible and good natured and passed his love of the mountains on to us. The tour was one of the highlights of our entire week. Brenda StewartPosted on 2 Nomads2025-10-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a tour guide. My company hired Jay, with Mild to Wild as our step on guide. Jay was a wealth of information. He was great with my passengers. We all loved him.Posted on jenner finley2025-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just got off the Jeep tour with Jay as our guide. What a day and what a guide!!
